PERMANENT RECRUITMENT ON THE UP

Manpower is pleased to announce the launch of a new division based from the Doncaster office dedicated to permanent recruitment for the South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire regions, due to an increased demand for permanent staff.

Jenny Tandy, Business Manager for Manpower in Doncaster, says: “Many people associate Manpower with temporary employment, but we also have extensive expertise in permanent recruitment. Our new permanent division is headed up by Nichola Boast - she alone has over 10 years’ experience in recruitment covering a range of business sectors.”

“We have a wide range of positions currently available in the Scunthorpe and Lincoln areas. These include a large number in the commercial sector from management to administration officers.”

The increased interest in permanent recruitment in this area is supported by the results of the latest Manpower Employment Outlook Survey. Jenny adds: “The outlook for businesses in the region over the next three months is positive, with a balance of +7% of employers expecting to take on more staff this quarter. It’s great to see that businesses in this region are feeling optimistic about the job outlook for the coming months.”

Manpower provides staff with a host of excellent benefits including annual leave, sick pay, parental leave, staff deals on mortgages, life and personal accident insurance cover, and stakeholder pensions. Candidates who are registered with Manpower also gain free access to over 1,500 training courses via Manpower’s online Direct Training service, in subjects as diverse as leadership, communication and customer service, as well as a wide range of IT skills. Manpower’s training and assessment programmes are among the best in the industry and are designed to support the careers of all employees.
